In the first half of 2022, Fineco continued its path of Sustainability in the various areas outlined in the ESG Plan 2020-2023.
In particular, Fineco AM updated its Responsible Investment Policy, which describes the policies for responsible screening and selection of funds, and monitoring of the portfolio's ESG rating. In addition, the Group's asset management company has kept the SFDR categorisation of its funds up-to-date and, at the end of June 2022, around 35% of Fineco AM's funds promote, among other characteristics, environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of these, or have a sustainable investment objective. At Group level, as of the same date, 58% of the funds offered had the same characteristics.
In the context of the external initiatives to which the Group adheres, since March 2022 Fineco AM has subscribed to the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact, deciding to align its strategies and activities with the universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Furthermore, in order to follow up on the commitments deriving from the signing of the Principles for Responsible Banking, in June 2022 FinecoBank published its first "Reporting and Self-Assessment" document, i.e. a high-level response on how the Bank is implementing its underlying commitments by formulating a summary self-assessment on the fulfilment of its objectives.
In the area of environmental impact management, in the first half of 2022, maintenance activities continued on the Environmental Management System, which, at the end of June 2022, was being assessed by the Ecolabel and Ecoaudit Committee - EMAS Italy Section - for the purpose of obtaining EMAS Registration. Furthermore, in August, the Board of Directors approved the commitment to achieve a status of Net-Zero emissions by 2050 regarding both operational and financed emissions. Through this objective, the Group commits to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 operational emissions by 35% and its Scope 3 operational emissions by 20% by 2030, achieving a 90% reduction in these emissions by 2050, with the residual emissions being neutralised from the Net-Zero year. The Group is also committed to ensuring that its assets are aligned with the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement, with particular reference to government and bank debt securities, which make up more than 70% of consolidated assets at the end of 2021.
With regard to social aspects, at the beginning of 2022 Fineco AM financed the AIxGirls project, i.e. a free weekly campus dedicated to girls finishing the fourth year of high school to encourage their enrolment in degree courses in technological disciplines. The initiative represents the first example in Italy.
In the area of responsible finance, for the first time the Bank negotiated a collateral switch transaction (collateralised securities lending) with ESG criteria. Compared to traditional transactions, the transaction envisages the payment of an extra fee related to Fineco's achievement of the following sustainability targets: (i) 100% of new ESG-rated funds placed on the Italian platform between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2023 (ii) S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment score greater than 67 out of 100. When the transaction expires, set for April 2024, the extra fee will be paid to Fineco by the counterparty and retroceded by Fineco to Save the Children if the Bank reaches the agreed targets, while it will be retroceded directly by the counterparty to Save the Children if Fineco does not reach the targets.
The feedback from ESG rating agencies continues to be positive. In fact, in the first half of 2022 there was an improvement in the ESG risk rating assigned by Sustainalytics, taking it from 16.0 (Low risk) at the end of
2021 to 15.8 (Low risk) in May 2022 and confirming Fineco's position among the best banks internationally. Furthermore, the following ESG ratings were substantially confirmed: (i) MSCI, equal to "A", a rating in line with the average of the "diversified financials" sector; (ii) S&P through the Corporate Sustainability Assessment, with a score of 65 points out of 100; (ii) Vigeo Eiris (Moody's ESG solutions) with an ESG assessment equal to 54 points out of 100 (robust performance); and (iii) Refinitiv, with a score of 85 out of 100, indicating excellent ESG performance and a high degree of transparency in public sustainability reporting.
At the end of June 2022, the Bank was also included in Euronext's MIB ESG Index, FTSE4Good, Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI) 2022, Standard Ethics Italian Banks Index, Standard Ethics Italian Index, Nasdaq CRD Global Sustainability Index and S&P Global 1200 ESG index.
